====== Multiplayer ====== You can tell which kinds are my fave by all the green text :) ===== Competitive ===== ==== Competitive with Co-op ==== ^ //[[kane_and_lynch_2_dog_days|Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days]]// | on: 360, PS3, Windows | | Interesting take on co-op where you can kill each other to take all the winnings yourself. || | || ^ //Omegalodon// | on: Windows | | One team is a [[kaiju]] tasked with destroying things, the other team can control a bunch of different vehicles to try and stop them. Not the most interesting implementation of a neat idea though. || | || ^ //[[rocket_league]]// | on: Switch, PS4, Windows, XBO | | || | || ^ //[[umbrella_corps]]// | on: Windows | | Zippy third-person shooter with a real interesting mix of well thought-out mechanisms. || | || ^ //[[videoball]]// | on: PS4, Win | | Sport. Play locally. || | || ==== Local ==== ^ //BANG BANG BANG!// | on: Linux, Mac, Win | | Quick bursts of mind-games. Each stage is a grid, you pay by moving between points and being quickest on the draw.\\ I guess this was renamed to //Dangerous Duels//. || | [[itch>sophieh.itch.io/bangbangbang|BANG BANG BANG!]] || | || ^ //BOMB DOLLS// | on: Mac, Win | | C%%o%%-op driving, scavenging, adventure, makeout, game. || | [[itch>girlsoftware.itch.io/bombdolls|BOMB DOLLS]] || | || ^ //[[videoball]]// | on: PS4, Win | | Brilliant team sport. || | || ==== Hot-Seat ==== ^ //[[Capture the Flag]]// | on: Win | | Turn-based, squad-based, capture the flag game. Has hot-seat multiplayer too. || | || ^ //[[dungeon_land]]// | on GB | | || | || ==== Asynchronous ==== Async, AKA play-by-email, etc. multiplayer games are ones where each player takes their turn in their own time. When they're done a notification of some kind is sent to the opponent, who can then take theirs. I like the pace of them, and the ability to have multiple games going at a time. ^ //[[Capture the Flag]]// | on: Win | | Turn-based, squad-based, capture the flag game. Has hot-seat multiplayer too. || | || ^ //[[civilization_v]]// | on: Linux, Mac, Win | | Async multiplayer via [[Giant Multiplayer Robot]], otherwise at least the host has to be online or you to take your turn. || | || ^ //[[civilization_vi]]// | on: Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, PS4, Switch, Windows, XB1 | | An update added a 'cloud' multiplayer mode where people can finally play asynchronously. || | || ^ //[[clairvoyance]]// | on: Mac, Win | | //Clairvoyance// is a turn-based, asynchronous multiplayer game where you control a group of four robots trying to destroy your opponent's. The fun is in trying to predict what they'll do, and how things go wrong and right because of that :)\\ Never had any luck running it on Arch, but *buntus seem fine. Works perfect in [[wine]]. || | || ^ //[[freeciv]]// | on like everything | | || | || ^ //[[frozen_synapse]]// | on: Linux, Mac, Win | | || | || ^ //Wargroove// | on: PS4, Switch, Win, XBO | | || | || ==== Multiplayer Games I Would Like To Play With Others That I Never Get To ==== ^ //[[bionic_commando]]// | on: 360, PS3, Windows | | Amazing, aerial, grappling hook-based combat. || | || ^ //Rampart// | | | (note to self Famicom and GB (not colour) versions are ace too)\\ //[[http://kombat.kajaani.net/what.php|Kajani Kombat]]//\\ //[[http://www.linux-games.com/castle-combat/|Castle Combat]]// || | || ^ //[[umbrella_corps]]// | on: Windows | | Zippy third-person shooter with a real interesting mix of well thought-out mechanisms. || | || ===== Co-operative ===== ==== Low Action ==== Also good to play with people who aren't much into games. ^ //Ico// | on: PS2, PS3 | | Haven't actually tried it. Yorda being weaponless might be a bummer. || | || ^ //Minecraft// | on: everything | | || | || ==== High Action ==== ^ //[[edf_series|EDF]]// series | on: 360+, PS2+, Switch, Vita, Windows | | || | || ^ //[[kane_and_lynch_2_dog_days|Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days]]// | on: 360, PS3, Windows | | || | || ^ //Lost Planet 2// | on: 360, PS3, Windows | | || | || ^ //Sanctum 2// | on: 360, PS3, Windows | | [[ego_shooter|FPS]]/[[tower defence]] game that's pretty fun, even though I'm not big on either genre. || | || ==== Frantic Problem Solving ==== ^ //Cookie & Cream// | on: PS2 | | || | || ==== Horror ==== ^ //Resident Evil Revelations 2// | on: 3DS, Wii, Windows | | || | || ^ //Obscure// series | on: PS2, Wii, Windows, XBox | | || | || {{tag>recommendations multiplayer asynchronous videogames co-op}}
